What did you do with your Z today

Skeeterbop · 09-06-2011, 07:45 PM

Got my car back from the body shop and gotta say, you would never know somebody backed into the passenger side door.

kenchan · 09-07-2011, 09:22 AM

pressured up the tires on both the G and Z last night, going to do the spare tires tonight along with my Fit's tires.

also made an ad for the RaceRamps FlatStoppers for those interested in hibernation gear.

dont cheap out on your garage accessories if you're a real car enthusiast. it's not just the car we invest in... we invest in garage gear as well.

Hello, Mr. Kenchan.

As I read all of the posts about putting away the Z for winter time, I am filled with gratitude and thankfulness that where I live the worst we get is rain and a little cold.

I drive one of my Z's year round, but I do miss actual winter weather. I guess I get my fill of it each December when we go back to the farm in Battle Lake, MN.

Regarding that Dr. Color Chip stuff, is the GT-R KAD code (Gun Metallic) the same as the Z's? They don't list the Z under available 2011 models, but they do list the GT-R with seemingly the same paint...

kenchan · 09-07-2011, 09:59 AM

mr.onzedge- actually the winter works out for me because i wrap up my car hobby around Nov and concentrate on my music stuff all winter long... then in spring pull out my car for a fresh start.

we dont have many 'fun' roads around here so rather than get bored driving the same ol' roads throughout the season i like to close up shop and take a break for a few months.

Ill be taking mine off the road in November as well. Hate that time of year, it means back to driving my beater Explorer. But then again my Z would never be able to get me up to the mountain to snowboard so I guess its ok. Slow and boring but ok. Time to start planning next seasons mods.

yep, my brainstorming has started.

i think it's good to have time off from the Z cause i appreciate her more when spring comes around.

in other news... hey, sold the flatstoppers already to a member!

Having the time off is painful to say the least. But you're right, it def makes me appreciate when I get to drive it come spring. Something to look forward to. What mods u thinkin bout Ken? I plan on stayin N/A so Im contimplating how to get more power outta her that way. I def wanna do a few little visual mods I never got to do, GTR start, rear fog, shift knob. I also like your mirrors and would like to do something w mine. Oh and a ducktail spoiler! Lol sounds like I already have my list

Has anyone here installed a short shifter?? Ive heard it can actually hurt the trans. I dont mind my throw as it is but it wouldnt hurt to shorten it up a bit. Thoughts?

I did the short shifter thing. I have never heard about transmission damage though.

Anyway, besides occasional buzzing at high rpms, I like it quite a bit -- it improves the throw/feel/speed quite a bit.
